Amer Shipping has contracted Concordia Damen for a CDS 110 Dry Cargo vessel. This latest order continues the partnership between the two companies, following the deliveries of the AM Voyager, AM Explorer and Johannes Senior.
The agreement was formalised during the Europort exhibition in Rotterdam, where Concordia Damen joined several other Damen divisions to welcome clients and partners.
Ready for low water levels
The 110-metre by 11.45-metre vessel features a shallow draught and high cargo capacity, ensuring reliable operations even during periods of low water levels. Its advanced hull form delivers low resistance, reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions, contributing to a significantly smaller environmental footprint.
He adds: ‘In transport, being able to provide a reliable service is key. That’s why we manage maintenance, planning and technical support ourselves. But we can only do that if our fleet consists of high- quality vessels, and that’s where Concordia Damen comes in. With the CDS Dry Cargo 110 we can actually transport 200 tonnes more cargo compared to other 110-metre vessels. Hence, this new CDS 110 supports our company’s long-term vision to provide efficient, low-emission logistics solutions across Europe’s inland transport network.’
